Liverpool band STONE returns with their blistering new track “NEVER AGAIN,” marking a bold new chapter as they announce their signing with V2 Records. The partnership sparked reflections on the band’s trajectory, while frontperson Fin Power found creative fuel in the world of Mike Pondsmith’s Cyberpunk 2077 universe, where resistance is central theme. For Power, this spirit of defiance serves as a metaphor for major labels that discard artists as readily as they sign them.
“Lyrically, the track highlights the emotional journey of turning to sobriety while dealing with the fallout of our major label experience. The anger of feeling like a scratchcard for the previous label, and the pride that gets buried beneath that anger, drove the writing.”

Musically, “NEVER AGAIN” channels the sun-bleached grit of surf rock with the sharp-edged swagger of indie, forging a sound that is loud and forward-looking. It is a statement of intent, and a glimpse into the future STONE is carving out for themselves.
